Synopsis:

More than 150 irresistible vegetarian recipes—from light brunches to filling main courses and delectable desserts—and comprehensive nutritional information.

Some people choose vegetarianism because they are concerned about the welfare of animals raised for meat and the environmental consequences of meat production. Some want more complete information about the origin of their food. Others simply feel better eating an exclusively vegetarian diet. Whatever the reason, The Vegetarian Cookbook is the answer. A fabulous cookbook and an invaluable reference guide all in one with more than 150 irresistible recipes—from light brunches to filling main courses and delectable desserts—and comprehensive nutritional information. The introduction is devoted to the health benefits and how-to-eat guide necessary for anyone interested in becoming a vegetarian or for tried-and-true non-meat eaters. Discover how to eat a variety of foods from complex carbohydrates such as grains and pasta, how to follow the World Health Organization’s recommendation to eat five portions of fresh vegetables and fruit a day, how to get protein in your diet with dairy product and alternatives, and much more information for maintaining a healthy diet. The more than 150 tasty recipes from around the world have easy-to-follow instructions and inspiring full-color photo of every finished dish, such as: • Breakfast and Brunch: Spicy Scrambled Eggs on Toast or Corn Pancakes with Yogurt Sauce • Snacks and Starters: Cheese and Mushroom Pâté or Roasted Asparagus with Caramelized Shallot Dressing • Soup: Hot Moroccan Bean Soup or Creamy Avocado and Coconut Soup • Salads: Carrot and Ginger Salad or Grilled Vegetables Salad • On the Side: Stir-Fried Cabbage or Potato and Green Bean Curry • Main Course: Spiced Carrot and Chickpea Fritters, Black Bean Chili, or Mexican Vegetables and Cornmeal Pie • Pasta and Grains: Baked Rigatoni with Eggplant or Polenta with Rich Mushroom Sauce • Desserts: Spiced Seasonal Fruit Salad, Baked Almond Pears, or Hot Raspberry Soufflés Whether you have been vegetarian for years, are thinking about becoming vegetarian, or simply enjoy meat-free meals, this is the book you will turn to for its wealth of inspiration and information.
